Some common criticisms of the Kia EV6 include: No wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Stiff suspension on GT model Limited rear visibility due to small rear window Touch-sensitive climate and infotainment controls can be confusing
The Kia EV6 offers 520 liters of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 1,300 liters when the seats are folded down. However, it has less cargo space than some competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y. It also has a small front trunk (frunk), which is more useful in the RWD models than the AWD versions.
The Kia EV6 may qualify for federal and provincial EV incentives, depending on the location and specific eligibility requirements. In Canada, buyers may be eligible for up to $5,000 in federal rebates and additional provincial incentives, depending on the region.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

The Kia EV6 features a sleek, sporty, and eye-catching design with aggressive lines, a teardrop shape, and a futuristic light bar across the rear. The GT model adds sportier styling elements such as 21-inch wheels, aggressive angles, and neon green accents.
The GT AWD version delivers 0-100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, making it one of the quickest EVs in its segment. With up to 430 kW (576 hp) and 740 Nm of torque, the GT trim competes with luxury sports cars. The dual-motor AWD versions offer engaging and fun driving dynamics, with tight handling and responsive acceleration.
One of the fastest-charging EVs in its class, capable of charging from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes using a 350 kW Level 3 charger. Level 2 home charging is completed in about 7 hours, making overnight charging convenient.
The flat floor design allows for ample legroom and spacious seating for passengers. High-quality materials and a driver-focused layout enhance the premium feel. The rear seats offer generous legroom, even for tall passengers.
Comes with two 12.3-inch curved displays, offering an intuitive and high-tech user experience. Features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (although wired) and a high-quality Meridian sound system on higher trims. Offers augmented reality head-up display and customizable digital instrument clusters.
The i-Pedal system allows one-pedal driving, improving efficiency and ease of use in city driving. Adjustable regenerative braking levels allow for energy recuperation and a smoother driving experience.
Wind RWD trim provides 499 km of range on a single charge. Even the AWD version offers an impressive 441 km before needing a recharge, making it competitive in its class.

Cons

The GT AWD trim only offers 400 km of range, which is significantly lower than competitors like the Tesla Model Y Performance. Some users report real-world range being lower than the official ratings, especially in colder climates.
The sportier suspension on the GT model results in a stiffer ride that may not be comfortable for long-distance travel. Lower trims offer a smoother ride, but the GT version sacrifices comfort for performance.
While the infotainment system is advanced, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available, requiring a wired connection.
The frunk (front trunk) is only 20 liters, barely fitting small items like a charging cable or grocery bags. Many rivals offer significantly larger front storage compartments.
The sloping rear window and thick rear pillars create blind spots, making rear visibility a challenge. The small rear windshield limits the view, requiring heavy reliance on cameras and parking sensors.
